Winter Nigorinpic 34
Snowball drinking comparison paused 🤣
Yesterday, I got a little early...very early Valentine's Day chocolate from Kaorin: ❤️
It was a nigori junmai daiginjo raw chocolate🍫 from Kaygetsu because they are currently holding the Nigorinpic.
I bought this sake on my way home from work, thinking it was the only sake to go with it 😀.
Unfortunately, they were just sold out of the four-pack, but they had some small ones left 🤣.
As expected from Kaygetsu, this sake is from Kochi, and I found it to have an overwhelmingly strong flavor among the sake selections for the Nigorinpik that I'm currently working on🤣.
Maybe not the best taste for our family 🤣.
It had a completely different nuance from the CEL24 we drank before 😅.
However, when paired with chocolate, the flavors collaborated well and it was delicious 😇.
It's interesting that the impression of sake can be so different when paired with chocolate than when drunk alone 😀.
YasubeyesanOrin❤️Valentine pairing first 💝🎊That sounds like a delicious pairing! I've seen Kaygetsu at a liquor store I frequent! It's really fun to see the difference between sake alone and pairings. ❤️
Yachan, did you like the chocolate? The pairing of this chocolate with the Katsuragi🍶 was too good to be true, wasn't it? I'm looking forward to your return of the chocolates 😝.
Good evening, Petsuho 😀
I was a little surprised at the strong taste of Kaygetsu-san's nigori, but I was surprised at the change in taste when combined with this chocolate 🤣.
However, Kaorin has requested me to return the favor by using Sake no Wa 🤣.
Hi Yasbay & Kaorin 🐦.
Surprised that there is a Katsuragi 🍫 and surprised that it tastes even better when combined with nigori 😳‼️ I would love to do this 😻
I can't wait to see what you get in return 🤣
Sake rice: Gin no Yume
I had a hiyayagoroshi in the fall, and this time I had a Shiki-no-zake version.
It's good and sharp! I think I prefer the hiyayagoshi version!

Body 2
Acid 2, with a fair amount of malic acid
Sweetness 2.5
Umami 1.5
Bitterness 2, with a tannic astringency that may come from the lactic acidity.
Lingering chestnut-like sweetness and lactic acidity
Impression: Sweet with complexity
It has a complex taste with a mixture of nuances of shaved sake and amino acid complexity, as well as sugar and acidity.
This was my first time trying CEL24, and I personally thought it was a sake that was difficult to understand what it was trying to assert. The lingering chestnut-like aftertaste, perhaps derived from the malted rice, is unique.
I drank it chilled, but it seems to become sluggish as the temperature rises.
It goes well with cheese.
Buy at Tosa Sake Brewery's warehouse direct from the brewery.
Too delicious! CEL24 yeast is not listed.
Pineapple aroma characteristic of CEL24, but not too sweet, moderate acidity and nigori-derived flavor.
Slight bitterness and a clean finish.
Even though it is fire-brewed, it is fresh and has a slight fizziness.
All of the CEL24 yeast sake I've had so far have tasted like dessert sake, but this one is great as a food sake as well.
Like Kameizumi, the aroma is almost like pineapple juice.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you feel the umami flavor.
Contrary to the aroma, the sweetness is moderate.
It is a well-balanced sake with a refreshing taste, but it has a pineapple juice 🍍 aroma.
